Good Luck in a Horse Shoe.

One day when the temperature was In
the neighborhood of nothing, a couple OF
colored inhabitants of Bucktown were
overheard discussing the good luck which
a horse shoe brings. Both of the partici-
pants in the debate were of the feminine
gender One was young, good looking
and fairly dressed, and affected all the
fashionable furbelows of her white sisters,
while the other looked as if she had been
participant in the first Punic war. He1
face had been gashed with razor, one
eye was gone and as she walked she hob
bled as if one leg had stopped growing be.
fore the other had. She wore faded
calico dress, and there was nothing to in
dictate that she wore anything else to keeI
off the keen and cutting air.

though protected by cloak, was shiver

the relic, as her teeth ratified together

A Dearth Of Comic Writers.

The rarest talent among writers is the
comic, and yet nearly every man who
writes in an amateur way thinks he is the
coming humorous man. | have had con-
siderable connection with the profession
ally funny papers of New York, and l find
that they are overrun with gratuitous con-
tributions which are about as funny as the
bray of donkey. 1t is hard to find a new
humorous genius, and therefore you will
see the same old names attached to the
column Of jokes and the pictures. Just
now there is dearth Of such writers, and
the publishers are after new men, because
the old ones have begun to play out. A
funny man does not last as long as the
author Of serious writings, and it is a
genius that holds fresh for five years after
having worked regularly and depended
upon his humor for a livelihood. If you
recall the names that figured prominent in
the humorous papers five years ago you
will discover that they have disappeared
almost entirely from observation. Per
haps they have become police reporters OF
are grinding out cheap wit on some insig
nifcant newspapers.-J. A. Macon in

Horses for Western Service.

'sIt Is fact that little range mustangs
and cayrlses do better in an Indian chase
or a thief round up than the best grain
fed horse conscientiously purchased in the
east under these regulations.
what is the remedy? Do you think
mustangs should be purchased"
mo. Good. grass fed horses can DO
purchased but understand that a move
ment is on foot to establish government
stud farms for breeding horses for the ser
vice. The idea is not new. The French
government maintains four such farms.
When Macmillan came over TO conquer
Mexico he brought lot Of government
bred horses. and many Of them were left
behind at the exodus. Down in Durango,
Mexico, the range horses have been i'm
mensely improved by crossing with thess
horses brought over by the Frenchmen.
There are some objections to the proposed
Innovation, but it would produce class of
horses well adapted for the service instead
Of the present worthless lot Of animals
that United States cavalrymen have to
use. Whether practical or not, this
scheme will be pushed. If it doesn't pan
out. then some way Of getting grass fed
or range horses should be devised '-Da-

Life Of Q Stage Tyr0.

But the fact remains that although some
of her associates are good and refined peo-
Die. many of them are neither. They have
the power to make her life hideous. 1t is
to be feared that the great virtue OF the
theatrical profession, kindheartedness,
fails and flags when neophyte comes
among them They are not kind to the
lady who steps on the stage. No people
are so generous to each other, non keep
their hearts so alive to melting harlty,
none show more firmness in adversely,
none are more courageous in moment OF
danger than actors. Imagine Mrs. Charles
Stevenson, with fire behind her. keeping
q whole theatre quiet while she coura-
geously kept on with her part, in the blind
xirl. in The Two OrphansF' There was
a heroinel They live on the verge OF the
heroic. and their business makes them
disdain the commonplace. If they are I'M
kind to the newcomer it is almost their
only lack of generosity. Imagine the strain
upon them. To march through the dreary
round of one piece perhaps for year No
wonder that they want all their applause,
poor people! it is but feeble reward for
ALI that they do.-Mrs. John Sherwood.

SCARED INTO REFORMATION.
An Old Railroader's Story-A Close Col
for . Drunken Man.

An Old Railroader's Story-A Close Can
for . Drunken Man.
ssOut ON our Nebraska line, near Sutton,
Clay county," said . railroader, who Tor
many years had owed allegiance to the
great Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
ssthere used to live q man named Potter
a rather old man, who had seen better
days, but who was then living in dugout,
about two miles from town, and close Oy
the railroad track He was fearful old
drunkard, too, and used to go to town
about every other day and I'LL up at Fat
Curran's saloon, starting home late IN the
evening, and always taking the railroad
track. Being an old man, and not able TO
stand such big and bad doses OF liquor as
Pat gave him, he often fell down on the
track and went to sleep. Time and again
our boys stopped their trains on discover
ing old Potter ahead, and, Of course, saved
his life every time they did it. 1t got to
be so that it was O rule of the road along
bv Sutton to look out for old Potter
After time the boys got tired OF II, ana
got the local agent to notify the Old man
that he'd got to keep off the track or get
hurt. This had no effect, and Potter USED
our ties for bed quite as often as before.
One winters night in 1874 Dave Thomp-
son-he's now superintendent at Lincoln,
but he was then freight conductor-one
night Dave was running an extra cattle
train from Lowell, and as they reached
the top of the hill going down to sutton,
Dave was in the engine cab, and ne sald:
"'Keep a sharp lookout for old Potter.
If he's on let's give him a scare.
"Pretty soon the engineer sighted
dilapidated form ahead on the track, and
declared that it was the old man. whistle
for brakes said Thompson, but let her
run pretty free, and Well shake the old
man up bit
'sThe boys all entered into the spirit OF
thing. Their purpose was to run. the loco
motives nose right into the old man and
rouse him without hurting him, with the
idea of giving him a good scare. But the
weight of the train and the grade proved
pretty bad things to calculate to such
fine point, and when the locomotive
reached the old man the boys all had
their hearts in their threats and feeling
that they were little better than murder
ers. They jumped down, expecting to
| find Potter all mashed to pieces, but there
he was under the engine, snug up against
the fire box, where he had been rolled and
pushed along ON tlle Sno" Luz e"o VI eniee
rods. He was evidently warm on the
side next the fire box and cold on the
| other, for just as the boys got to him they
| heard him mutter:
"I shay, ole 'oman-shay-yer pullin
all 'er cover off'n me.
"Wen, the boys got him out, and were
delighted to find that he wasn't mucf
hurt. As soon as they got him thor
oughly reused he was the most fright
| ened man that ever was. That scare
| proved his salvation, for he braced up an6
| reformed, and now owns one OF the finest
best stocked farms in Clay county. go

Consumption Among Negroes.

"You never heard of negroes dying of
consumption before the war;" said an eX-
Virginia slave the other day. 1T is only
within the past twenty-five years that the
disease has fastened its clutches upon our
people. In the old days it was pretty
lazy coon that caught anything worse
than licking. The slave always had too
much to do to spend any time lying around
for consumption to light upon him: He
got up early in the morning, worked hard
all day and went to bed early at night;
He ate 'possum and yams, and sang and
danced when the days work was done.
This sort of living and exercise made the
slave proof against consumption and lung
diseases. 1t is all different now. There
are heap of young 'coons' lying round
town playing Christmas gigs in the policy
shops and shooting craps in some alley,
who are keeping open house for just such
callers as spinal meningitis and consump-
ton. Chicago Herald.

Dress Reform Seventy Years Ago.


Nv grandmother has been telling me
something about how the present styles
in women's under garments came into
vogue. When she was a child, she said,
no one wore any lower under clothes ex
cept stockings. After while there came
a fashion for pantalettes, which consisted
simply of broad ruffle fastened by a
tight band just below the knee. Children
used to have two sets, white ones for best,
and yellow nankeen or calico for every day
wear She said there was a reason for
the fashion of pantalettes, as there is for
every degree of fashion. People had be-
gun to think it more sensible to put short
dresses on children rather than long
gowns reaching below their ankles, and,
to make the custom modest, the extra
coverings for the limbs was invented. But
the presence of tight band about the
leg was Objectionable on account OF its
discomfort, and the remedy for this led to
the next step in the evolution of the pres
ent lower under garment. To the outside
of the broad ruffle was attached the base
Of q long, acute angle triangle Of cloth.
This triangle extended up the waist,

the body is covered. For a long time if
anybody dared dream of such an limo

at last the bounds were leaped by some
courageous women, who dOnned the first
drawers, there was wonderful hue and
cry, compared to which anything in the
history Of modern reform is as nothing.
"Women wear garments like menu
women trying to get into trousers!'
Horror! Shamer' But the reform pre-
